# Good morning I was just inspecting my golden pothos and after taking…

_Posted by Pauline on 2023-11-14_

Good morning I was just inspecting my golden pothos and after taking off a few yellow leaves I discovered this hole on one of my vines. Not sure if it’s significant, how long it has been there, or what caused it. The end of the vine is pretty full with leaves so I’m not sure if I should leave it alone or cut and prop the end piece and cut this hole piece off. Suggestions appreciated!

These plants are super tough!! If you don’t like that mark, I would honestly just cut it and propagate the end piece and then plant it back in the pot once it has new roots. That will also make the other plant fuller over time. If you don’t do this occasionally the plant tends to end up looking long and gangly, instead of full and bushy.
